Boysie's Bash 2010

[boysie39]

Today was the IWG ( Irish Woodturners Guild ) event at Boysie's

Guest Turner for the event was Johnny Hutton ( Chairman of the Dolmen Chapter ) , Very nice gent and enjoyed a good crack of which there were plenty :lol:

Two projects , 1, a bog yew urn , 2 , a Walking Cane

The bog yew urn was roughed to shape prior to the event starting by Johnny

.

.

This was then left for later in the day ,and when the 20 guests for the day arrived the walking cane project was started on a Perform lathe with a bed extension fitted

The blank was turned to a cylinder with a slight taper from one end to the other

A contrasting colour knob was turned for the top with a cooper sleeve between the two

.

As you can see 20 guests enjoyed the day a were willing to pose for photos

Boysie the BOSS wanted his own photo :wink:

We also had a TRADER who had a good day as most guests purchashed some gooodies :lol:

Unfortunatley the Bog yew became too unstable in the lathe to continue with

And I forgot too take a photo of the finished cane :roll: :roll:

But Boysie has it here so I will try and remember tommorow

Will do a day 3 update on Sunday so watch this space

FUN inst it :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:
